Short-Term Wind Speed Forecasting Using the Data Processing Approach and the Support Vector Machine Model Optimized by the Improved Cuckoo Search Parameter Estimation Algorithm

Algorithm 1

CS algorithm.

() Determine the objective function , ;

() Initialize the population of host nests ();

() WHILE (The stop criterion has not met)

()   Choose a cuckoo randomly by Lévy flights and evaluate its goodness of fit or quality ;

()   Choose a nest among (say ) randomly;

()   IF ()

()     Replace by the new solution;

()   END IF

() Abandon a fraction () of worse nests and build new ones;

()   Keep the best solutions (or nests with quality solutions);

()   Rank the solutions and find the current best solution;

() END WHILE

() Post-process results;
